I hunted 52/521/411 about 7 years ago with 3 buddies, we hunted above Hotchkiss in a burned area. I killed a 26 inch buck, two other buddies killed a 30 an a 28. Other guy shot a meat buck. Seen quite a few deer in six days.

Yeah seven years ago it was good. Still good deer around, but last year was sad in 521. And I hunt 521.

 

[waderan]

Yeah, if it's like all the zones there now it's a coin flip!

I am also looking at info into 521 would be hunting north of Paonia. Thanks if you can provide any information

ozzy49938, hunted that unit quite a few years back. There is a old burn north of Paonia we hunted. Get back in off the road in that burned area, we killed a 28 an a 30 inch buck in it. The area north of the burn was good hunting to. We used 4 wheelers to get back in area.

Thanks.

You will be hard pressed to find those bucks like that now. You basically posted my deer hunting spot for the last 15 years. Also if you hunt that area watch your gps. Lots of private, good luck but don’t expect it to be what has been described.

Why do people get so specific on a general forum? One of the many reasons that social media and internet has had a huge impact on hunting.

 

[1989Cohunter]

Yeah it’s getting a bit ridiculous. But hey at least these guys that do it won’t be alone where they hunt.

 

[270Whatelse]

Well shXx that was one of my favorite spots too! Hard to find anything over about 210" up there anymore.

 

[1989Cohunter]

Haha I bet it is. Just wait tell one of your honey holes gets posted online.
